I guess that all those other groups jumping onto the “oooh I’m offended” bandwagon, the Christians just have to join in.
Christian campaigner Chris Whitehouse described it as a “cheap and offensive” use of a “sacred” song.
To which Southern Water respond…
Southern Water said it was a “light-hearted attempt to spread a serious message”.
Indeed. After all, the humourless Mr Whitehouse can always not listen. No one is forcing him. If he wants to believe in supernatural men living in the sky, well, that’s up to him. However, he has no right whatsoever to expect others to respect his absurd beliefs and he has no right not to be offended. Indeed, when some jumped-up self-important idiot claims that their idiotic beliefs should be respected and that they are offended, the only rational response is to keep offending them good and hard until they get the message.
BBC Radio Solent religious presenter Tim Daykin said: “The moral issue here is that a water company, like any monopoly, has a special responsibility to be sensitive to the sincerely held views of all its customers.”
No, they don’t. No one has any responsibility to enable the delusions of others.
Supernatural beings living in the sky? Nah, that’s only a myth which began when artists depicted the ‘ubiquitous’ God peering through clouds. God, if he exists for you, is everywhere. I believe, I’m outnumbered. That’s ok, that’s called free choice, something given by God and taken by man.
Water is for washing and occasional drinking, not for walking on…
“the only rational response is to keep offending them ” go on try this with the more muscular idiologies – Islam etc.
Religions dont mind shedding blood of the unbelievers and the unrespectful.
Sigh… You say this every time and every time I have to repeat myself. If you bother to read this blog you will realise that I do say offensive things about Islam. Probably more so than I do about Christianity.
Surely this guy can’t be unaware of the fact that We Three Kings was a favorite for school kids to sing spoof lyrics to.
We three kings of Leicester square – Selling women’s underwear – They’re fantastic there’s no elastic – Only tuppence a pair.
We three kings of Orient are – One in a bus and one in a car – One on a scooter blowing his hooter – Smoking a big cigar.
Of course these kings were totally historical and definately really existed.
